' With tho departure of seven of Idaho s
j eight delegates to the Republican na
. tional convention in Chicago, there
' to ha Joined by the eighth delegate.
' Senator W. E. Borah, the eyes of all
i republican, and for that matter demo
cratic leaders In Idaho, , are turned
toward the Mecca city of politics.
Vour of the delegates will be for
General Leonard Wood on the first
ballot. Four others -will be for the
programme that United Slates Senator
Borah outlines. Those who profess
to know say that before the voting: is
over the entire Idaho delegation will
b a, unit for what the senior senator
wishes.
The eeven delegates who are now
Vound for Chicago from Idaho arc:
John Thomas of tioodintr, state chair
man; Stanley Eastiyt of Kellogg. John
Gray of Coeur d Alcnc, wiinam f.
Guthrie of Twin Falls, M. B. Yeaman
r Idaho Falls, Harold Jenness of
Nampa and Capitain Jones of Nez
ferce. JUeesrs. Thomas, Guthrie and
Yeaman. are for the Borah programme.
Messrs. Easton, Gray. Jenness and
.Tones are for Wood on the first bal
t lot. Easton is really a Hoover man,
hut not being opposed to General
i Wood nor over-enthusiastic for him,
lie comes from a section of the state
where tber la Wood sentiment and
- , Is willing; to express that sentiment
' by hlo vote.
, Of the eight alternates, few will
make the trip, but among those of
.:' them who will so is Major Armstead
i who was wood's campaign manager
.' in Idaho, an open opponent to the
. senior senator.
' IV one WIIIIds; to r red let.
None of the delegates were willing
'", to predict that their favorite will win.
i So far as Idaho republicans are con
cerned, they, will generally support
i the nominee of the convention, no
. ' matter whether he Is one of those
prominently mentioned or a dark
" horse. There will be no bolting of the
ticket. The feeling among repub
. '. licans insofar as preference is con
cerned has not run trfat way. There
- '' have been and are favorites among
f-. them In the race.
' But if their favorite should not
happen to win the nomination, they
J will forget their difference and sup
port the choice of the convention. In
fact, there eeems to be an impression
that the nominee will be a compro-
f mlse man.
Democrats here are greatly inter
." V eted in the report that Fred T.
.? Dubois, ex-United States senator, now
holder of a federal position which
pays him J7500 per annum, but does
not prohibit extensive traveling, is
' going to be somewhat in evidence at
... . the Lewiston delegate convention this
month, not only as a candidate for
-j Democratic national committeeman
' but for a position on the state delega-
. '. ( tion to the San Francisco convention,
j Dubois in his time made all of the
i democrats in Idaho sit up and take
. . . notice and relegated not a few of
the leaders to the rear. But he -fell
when he attempted to force the party
to adopt his fight against the Mor
; mons and the Mormon church. That
). was the dividing of the ways. He
, split with United States Senator
. V Nugent then and thereafter retired
as an active participant in the Idaho
. ? political ring.
But the lion and the lamb have lain
"V down together. Dubois is actively
;: supporting Nugent. Whether this has
any connection with the report that
, ',. he is a candidate for national com
S mitteeman, party leaders here declare
5 they do not know, but they are draw
' In fir conclusions.
;- It was supposed that Robert H.
i Elder of Coeur d'Alene, present na
- tional committeeman, was not going
to be given competition. The reported
entrance of Dubois into the commit
teeman race explodes this. It is liable
to cause a lively row. Elder wants to
succeed himself. He is prepared to
make an active fight for the place.
There is nothing to indicate that he
Is at outs with Senator Nugent, who
will be the dominating figure at the
Lewiston convention.
Ex-Senator Dubois will very likely
land on the state delegation to San
Kraneisco, even if he does not succeed
In his aspirations for national com
mitteeman.
Three Judges to Be Elected.
The announcement of William Lee
of Blackfoot as a candidate for asso
ciate justice again calls to the atten
tion of the electors of this state that
they have, besides a regular chief
justice to elect to the supreme court,
two associate justices, who take of
fice conditional upon the electors
next fall ratifying the constitutional
amendment so providing, passed by
the last legislature. There are two
otner canaiaat.es in the race: Judge
Charles P. McCarthy of the third ju
dlcial district and Bailey Lee of
Jerome, a well-known attorney in
southern Idaho.
It seems to be generally conceded
that the successor to Chief Justice
William M. Morgan, who does not ex
pect to be a candidate to succeed him
self, will be from northern Idaho
Lee was chairman of the code com
mission of the last legislature, being
state senator Irom ttmgbara county.
He was also a prominent member of
the judiciary committee. He is
native of Nebraska, and before com
ing to Idaho practiced extensively in
Utah, tie revised the laws of that
state -to conform to its constitution

(m and in feur smaller towns. It
Is my opinion that It would have
been a mistake to attempt to en
force the law more rigidly than has
been done this year in the face of
the practical impossibility of doing
the work more effectively. It has
not been possible to spend all of the
state and federal funds appropriated
for Chis purpose for the present year,
but the indications are that there
will be a pressing need for all avail
able funds from now on. It is be
yond question that the proper pro
cedure Is to begin with the largest
cities of the state and work down.
"It Is suggested that a conference
of sirperintendents and teachers from
the 22 school districts of the- first
class be held in August, in order that
the work throughout the state may
be put on a more definite basis in
September. It should be borne in
mind that even at that time a thor
ough standardization of the work will
not be possible and that making com
pulsory part-time education a perma
ment success will Involve patient
constructive work from year to year."

SALEM. Or., June 5. (Special.)
The Oregon state legislature at Its
next session, will be called upon to
decide on one of three courses rela
tive to the oneration of the part-
time school law now in effect in this
state. according to announcement
made here today by Newton Van Dal
sem. state director of vocational edu
cation.
One course is the repeal of tho law
and abandonment of any effort to
siv th nroblem. while another is
to revise the act with a viow to fa
cilltatinz its effective operation, but
at the same time running the risk or
further complications. The third
plan is to let the law stand as it ts
for another biennium, in order to
rain further experience oeiore uo-
ciding what to do.
The exoerience of tho largest com
munities in the state, covering the
past three years will be the safest
guide to follow," said Mr. Van Dal-
sem. "Oregon is one or tne u eiaiea
which now have the compulsory part
time schools. It is evident that the
fundamental principle of part-time
education is sound, and that reco
nition of this principle has steadily
gained ground since Wisconsin oe
jan it In 1911.
Problems Prove Perplexing.
On the other hand, it is equally
evident that the part-time school is
too new and untried a thing in any
state to admit of definite and detailed
standardization, and there are still
manv Demlexing problems to be
solved.
"In my opinion the law has three
defects. The first of these is that
it is not possible to reach employed
minors between the ages of lb and
18 years who have not finished the
eighth grade.
Secondly, it is not possible to reacn
grammar school grades, Decause mc
law distinctly provides tnat tnese
grades are exempt.
And it is possible lor minors wno
are eligible to enrollment in part
time schools to attend evening school
instead of the part-time school.
I believe that any revision of the
existing laws should tie made, to re
move these three defects, and pro
vide compulsory part-timo education
for all minors between 14 and 18
years of age who will profit by the
kind of work offered, regardless of
scholastic attainments and evening
school opportunities.
Funds Not All Spent.
"The present situation is that part-
time schools and classes have been
established In our three largest cit-

RUMOR IS CIRCULATED
fi real Action, Horwever, Depends
Much on Final Action of
National Convention.

Having failed to defeat George E.
Chamberlain for the democratic nom
ination for United States senator,
there is a rumor circulating that
his party enemies may place an inde
pendent candidate in the fis) d in the
November general election. Senator
Chamberlain's enemies played their
trump card in the primaries when
they produced the letter from Presi
dent Wilson, which was practically
a declaration from Mc. Wilson that
he was displeased with Senator
Chamberlain's vote on the league of
nations.
Whether an independent is pro
ducd against ' Senator Chamberlain
depends iarge'y on the result of the
natioi-.a! convention to be held in
San Francisco this month. If Mr
Wilson controls the convention and
forces the party to make his copy
of the treaty of Versailles the cam
paign issue, then the opposition will
be once more fortified to fight Cham
berla'n. for in such an event Cham-
hf-rlum's vote trr the Lodere reser
I vationa will put him "In bad"
the party platform.
It, however, Mr. Wilson . cannot
work his will on the convention, and
he Is frustrated in his plan to place
the treaty of Versailles above all
other things, then Senator Chamber
lain will not be in bad graces of the
organization, albeit he. will still have
his bitter enemies camping on his
trail.
From what fragments of democratic
gossip can be gleaned these days, the
Oregon delegation will not be of one
mind on the treaty of Versailles. It
may be heresy on the part of some
of the old war horses of democracy
to refuse to accept the Wilson pro
gramme lock, stock and barrel, but
some of them intend making the re
fusal just the same. The real truth
of the situation in democratic circles
in Oregon is that Mr. Wilson is not
considered as infallible as he was up
to a couple of years ago.
Many Democrats Displeased.
The president has done many things
which do not please democrats who
have been active leaders in the party
for a generation. A few of these in
dependent . souls will be in the na
tional convention and intend free
lancing on matters of platform ani
policy and so far as the Versailles
treaty is concerned, they are perfectly
willing to have it subordinated to
such an issue, for instance, as free
canal tolls for American coastwise
vessels, in which the Pacific coast is
particularly concerned.
In the event of a showdown of
strength betVeen W. J. Bryan and
Mr. Wilson for domination of the con-
vention, three' or more of Oregon's ten
delegates will side with Bryan.
